You have 1.50 kg of water at28.0°Cin an insulated container of negligible mass. You add 0.600 kg of ice that is initially at-22.0°C. Assume that no heat exchanges with the surroundings. (a) After thermal equilibrium has been reached, has all of the ice melted? (b) If all of the ice has melted, what is the final temperature of the water in the container? If some ice remains, what is the final temperature of the water in the container, and how much ice remains?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The heat required for melting ice is2.276×105J .

b) There will be still ice remaining in the water so the final temperature is 0℃.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Mass of water: 150 kg

Temperature of water: 28°C

Mass of ice: 0.600 kg

Temperature of ice: -22°C

02

Concept/Significance of thermal equilibrium

When two systems are connected to each other via a path that permits heat flow. A point at which the heat flow stops is called as thermal equilibrium

03

Determination of the heat required to melt ice.

Heat from water when cooled at 0°Cis given by,

Q=mcT

Here, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat and Tis the change in temperature.

Substitute values in the above,

Q=1.5kg4190J/kg.K28K=1.76×105J

Ice will melt by the hear given,

Q=mcT+mLf

Here, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat, is the change in temperature and is the latent heat of ice.

Substitute all the values in the above,

Q=0.600kg2100J/kg.K22K+3.34×105J/kg=2.276×105J

Thus, the heat required is 2.276×105J.

04

Determination of the final temperature of the water in the container

For the melting of ice,

Qfromwater=mcT+miceLfmice=Qfromwater-mcTLf

Here, m is the mass of water, c is the specific heat, Tis the change in temperature and Lfis the latent heat of ice.

Substitute all the values in the above,

mice=1.76×105J-0.600kg2100J/kg.K22K3.34×105J/kgmice=0.444kg

The ice remaining is given by,

mremaining=0.600kg=0.444kg=0.156kg

Thus, there will be still ice remaining in the water so the final temperature is 0°C.

The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain, explains why the island of Niihau, a few kilometers to the southwest of Kauai, is almost a desert and farms there need to be irrigated.

The gas inside a balloon will always have a pressure nearly equal to atmospheric pressure since that is the pressure applied to the outside of the balloon. You fill a balloon with helium (a nearly ideal gas) to a volume of 0.600 L at 19.0°C. What is the volume of the balloon if you cool it to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77.3 K)?

On a sunny day, large “bubbles” of air form on the sun-warmed earth, gradually expand, and finally break free to rise through the atmosphere. Soaring birds and glider pilots are fond of using these “thermals” to gain altitude easily. This expansion is essentially an adiabatic process. Why?

Is it a violation of the second law of thermodynamics to convert mechanical energy completely into heat? To convert heat completely into work? Explain your answers.

A rigid, perfectly insulated container has a membrane dividing its volume in half. One side contains a gas at an absolute temperature and pressure , while the other half is completely empty. Suddenly a small hole develops in the membrane, allowing the gas to leak out into the other half until it eventually occupies twice its original volume. In terms of and , what will be the new temperature and pressure of the gas when it is distributed equally in both halves of the container? Explain your reasoning.
